Appropriate Chemical Substance Management

We implement appropriate chemical substance management by grasping the social changes proactively, and compalying with industrial voluntary regulations and the regulations in each country where we have business, so that we can fulfill our Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recently legislation development on chemical substances has been implemented rapidly in the world. Therefore, expectations on our compliance actions would be more diversed and complicated. Also, the local-based new product development, and production that used to be done in Japan are gradually becoming more common globally in Nitto Group. Under these background, it is imperative for whole Nitto Group to grasp and understand the information of regulations as well as customer requirements thoroughly in each country, to make sure of appropriate chemical substance management.
Now we are aiming to realize(shift in structure) chemical substance management led by each area, rather than the conventional manner in where Japan support compliance actions in each country.
